Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1158 - 1160: The Note’s Contents
To determine if the remaining pastries had also been tampered with, Xiaotian sat there and ate all the leftovers.
Guo Feng kept pouring water for her, afraid Xiaotian might choke, constantly reminding, "Eat slowly, no need to rush."
"Haha." Xiaotian twitched her lips, speaking with a bit of embarrassment, "These pastries are quite delicious, so I ate a bit more."
Guo Feng looked at Xiaotian with a face full of doting affection, "If you like them, eat as much as you want. I’ll have Chef Jiang make more for you."
"Okay." Xiaotian nodded. After eating all the pastries without finding any issues, she felt relieved.
It seemed only the piece she had eaten was tampered with, while the others were normal. She felt a bit fearful—what if Guo Feng had eaten the tampered pastry? The thought alone was terrifying.
A moment later, Xiaotian stood up, eager to know what the note said.
"Brother, I’ve eaten quite a bit and want to step out for a moment."
"Alright, be careful and let Zi Lan accompany you."
"Okay."
Xiaotian then left the room, called out to Zi Lan waiting outside the door, and they went to the restroom together.
The sky was already dark by this time. Zi Lan carried a candle, lighting the one in the restroom as well, and said, "Young Madam, it’s all set. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay." Xiaotian nodded, watching Zi Lan exit.
She quickly bolted the restroom door, took out the pastry she had hidden on her, and extracted the note inside.
Her heart was pounding, overwhelmed with tension.
With trembling hands, she opened the small note.
By the candlelight, she read the words: "Have found your parents, rendezvous at the inn to discuss." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The message hit Xiaotian like a thunderbolt, causing her to involuntarily step back.
What was this implying?
Does it mean they’ve found her parents?
The parents who had abandoned and sold her at birth?
Her lips curled into a bitter smile—no one wants to be discarded, no one wants to be sold.
Despite the hatred in her heart, she still wanted to know who her parents were and why they abandoned and sold her.
She stood there, like a stunned puppet, tears silently falling.
"Young Madam, are you alright?" Zi Lan, waiting outside, called out after noticing it had been a while without Xiaotian coming out.
Hearing Zi Lan’s voice, Xiaotian wiped her tears, "Okay, just a moment longer, I’ll be out soon."
After reassuring Zi Lan, she quickly held the note to the candle, watching it burn to ashes.
Everything returned to normal. Xiaotian exhaled a long sigh, composed her emotions, and opened the door, "Alright, let’s go."
Soon she was back in the room, trying hard to control her emotions, not wanting Guo Feng to notice anything amiss.
She followed the usual routine, washing up and changing before resting.
Though lying there with her eyes closed, she couldn’t fall asleep.
Her mind was occupied with the message from Fugui.
After much contemplation, she decided she must find a way to meet Fugui and learn everything.
After washing up, Guo Feng saw Xiaotian already asleep. He sat beside her, brushing away the hair scattered on her face with extreme tenderness in his eyes and a tone of helplessness, "Seeing you this unhappy, I don’t know what I can do to help."
